System Messages provide useful system information. They are listed in the system’s report log, a
memory resident table. To manipulate the report log, use the following commands at the
administrative console:
dr
or
ds
display reports or display statistics
er
or
es
erase current messages/statistics from memory
wr
or
ws
write reports/statistics to disk
When the CyberSWITCH writes system messages to disk, it stores them in the following locations:
Directory:
\log
File Name:
rprt_log.nn
(where “nn” is an integer from 1 to 10 that is incremented each time a new
file is written.)
The system reports messages using the following format:
•
the Message Type quickly identifies the type of message the system reports
•
the Time identifies when the message was reported
•
the Report Number is used by your Distributor or Customer Support
•
the Message text describes the actual message being reported
This chapter describes the types of system messages available (for example, informational and
error). It also lists each message individually, with suggested actions to take in the event of an error.
Notes: In addition to the system report log, there are separate logs for both
and
authentication messages. Prior to software release 7.3, the authentication messages were
included in the system report log. With release 7.3, these authentication messages now
appear in a separate log. You may access this authentication log with the commands:
da
to display authentication messages
ea
to erase current authentication messages
wa
to write authentication messages to disk
The authentication messages are still described within this chapter. For descriptions of
possible call detail recording messages, refer to
in the Advanced
Options chapter.
Also note that some system options require you to enable a trace before messages
concerning these options are recorded in the system report log. Refer to the
chapter for more information.
